Future Tech And Foresight

A look at the new changes, policies, and thoughts that are transforming the small Central American country, El Salvador. A follow up from part 1 on a 2 month trip in the country.

About the Episode:
In this episode I’ll follow up on the first episode about EL Salvador but more about how things are changing AFTER the gangs had been imprisoned and the country became safe.
I’ll discuss the new policies like Bitcoin being accepted as legal tender, as well as some of the rumors of beneficial policies coming in the next few years. Some points on what the local population thinks of all the new changes as well as some of the negative things that still exist in the country
